How do you give a portfolio of past work to potential clients and employers when you were creating internal healthcare apps (unavailable to the public) for the last 3 years? Check out the web and mobile apps in this video reel to get an idea of my past projects:

This is a story of my 2013 side project to care for our aging parents. It involved several failed attempts to get into accelerators/incubators and ultimately a letter of intent (LOI) from the biggest health insurance provider in the country.

There are 5 Monkeys and a number of apples. They want to divide the apples into equal shares, but all forget. They all go to sleep. In the middle of the night, the first monkey suddenly remembers, and goes and divides the apples into five equal groups. He finds out that there is an extra, and eats it. Then, he hides his share and goes to sleep. Continue reading →

The financing, arming, and coordination of atrocity perpetrators are too-often enabled through the activities of third parties such as multinational companies or financial institutions. And Humanity United and USAid started a tech challenge to address this problem and others related to atrocities. This is my solution…. Continue reading →

Your iPhone can do everything except your laundry, until now… This was our pitch at Startup Weekend in San Francisco this weekend, where we wired up such things as lights, fans, door opening/closing sensors, and motion detectors to demonstrate the power of home automation. See this video below for an idea. Continue reading →

I wasn’t satisfied with the options available for on-the-go cyclists. The iPhone Google Maps doens’t have bike directions (though it may be coming in iOS 6), and the web and native apps all seem to be lacking either good directions or a good interface (or both). I typically end up pulling out a physical map when I need to find a good way to get from point A to point B in San Francisco.

Update: The new version is viewable at CarisTargetNow.com. (There is also an iPad app that this runs in, but it’s not available to the public..)

This is a project I was working at my current employer for about a week and a half. I’m not normally able to share my work, but given this project is being taken in a new direction (read: client didn’t like the design), I’m releasing it as an example of the kind of things I do there. It was designed for an iPad 2, but it needed to work in desktop browsers down to IE7.*

I wonder how many people are like me and love to design their own stuff because it would to be awesome to have that sort of creative freedom in both digital and physical contructs. So far, I know Converse, Adidas, Timbuk2, and Mission Bicycle provide webapps for customizing products for end users. Continue reading →
